Core Tip

Core Tip: The high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence seriously threatens patient outcomes. This review detailed how various transcriptome profiling methods have contributed to our understanding of recurrent HCC with respect to the carcinogenicity of primary cancer cells, carcinogenic stimuli, and tumor microenvironments, which show great promise in improving the management of HCC.
